Discussing Foley with Debbie McDonald

The USEF talent search program was fun to attend.  It was nice to meet new people, and be able to be stabled in the famous stables in Gladstone.  I ended up staying at taking some lessons from Micheal Barison.  I really enjoyed them, and think about the lessons frequently.  Increase your standards, expect more.  Foley and Pip benefited from the trip.  Hannah was able to join me and Gretchen was generous to offer to drive us there.  Thank you!
